Not a clue what you’re on about mate, as per usual.

We should be promoted with 90+ points, that can’t be attributed to luck, or scraping it, or whatever. There’s obviously elements of luck in individual games but over the course of 46 games you can’t just fluke it.

As some golfer once said 'the more i practice, the luckier i get'.  If we get promoted it won't be down to luck.

Just heard on the 'Not The Top 20' podcast....we have the best ratio of goals from set-pieces to successfully defending them across the whole EFL. Someone in the coaching staff clearly knows their onions.

Thinking about it, across my 4+ decades following the club we've never been much cop at set-pieces, Hindmarch, Wright spring to mind but overall like being mostly crap away from home it's something that's always seemed to have followed us around.

I think Warne said Matt Hamshaw was the man for set piece coaching, said he was employee of the week after Satudays game.

Straight from the horses/footballers mouths:

Wildsmith was asked about rumours of him leaving Derby. He has not yet been offered a new contract. 
Ebou and his missus are absolutely loving everything about Derby. He said there are several things that need to fall into place about signing but seemed positive. He is the loveliest down to earth person. Didn’t stop smiling all night. If we need to forcefully restrain him to keep him here count me in! He doesn’t mind the Ebou chant sounding like booing. 

Dwight Gayle is recovering well and hoping to be back next week.

Max Bird still very much focused on the next too games, despite moving on. 

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing smells very nice

 

 

 

 

As does Waggy according to the wife 😁

I have a friend who was there last night, said he spoke to Fozzy who said "Don't worry, you've got me for another year yet". So, sounds like he's had an extension.

Sorry, thought you were still talking about NML for a second 😲

If we fail to get promoted...I'd like him gone, If we get promoted he deserves his chance, All embargos lifted and free to use the market, Clowes will have to watch how PW fares in the Championship, If we are stuck around the bottom 4/5 around Xmas then the fans...imo will start with the negatives, If we're mid table around the same time then Clowes might decide to extend his contract.

Whatever the outcome after 27th April there's another re-build on the agenda. 

Trust me, if we are around bottom 4 or 5 it will be well before Xmas that the negatives start!

Was Going Home by Mark Knopfler used as a theme to a footy programme?  I seem to recall it was when they first started showing top flight live football regularly?  Love that piece of music.

I think I was at Paul's only game for the Rams - Bournemouth away, August Bank Holiday weekend, lost 1-0, the first league game of the Arthur Cox era?

If it was that game, i was there too!

He did indeed, he made a decent living working for Royce’s and playing football part time, driving a Porsche.

My father worked at RR Hucknall, Maurice Peel.

I never worked there but have several friends who did and are still there although it's not RR anymore.  They new Paul quite well.  Being from Eastwood, i remember his brother playing for the Badgers as well.

Jack Richardson, he doesn’t play for them now.

I went to a few games to support him, the Clee ultras are a small but dedicated bunch 😂

His dad Mark played for Eastwood town and Derby reserves under Roy Mac and his uncle Paul played 1 game for Derby but had to retire and go part time when Derby took the insurance money because of illness.

Paul 'Tiger' Richardson?  Worked at Rolls Royce Hucknall i believe?

If you pull a face and the wind changes direction you'll stay like it.

That’s fine but we’re discussing Leyton Orient, Carlisle is already a sellout ☺️

DOH, my bad 😁

I think there is only East stand blocks H and I and block H in the West stand that still has a number of seats yet to go on sale, plus obviously there will be around 2,000 empty seats in the away end same as the Blackpool game.

Probably just short of 30,000, with less than 1,000 away fans.

I expect Carlisle to bring more than 1000, their away support has been reasonable and last match of the season etc, could be nearer 2000? 

Some Carlisle tickets available again on website

Anybody dived into This Town yet? 

Toying with giving it a go tonight or going back and giving The Gone another go based on @Premier ram bigging it up.

Got two thirds of the way through episode one and gave it up.  Very impatient i know but I hate wasting time on stuff i'm not gripped by when there is much out there to get through

@NottsRam @Anag Ram @Comrade 86 have you all seen the Canadian gangster series Bad Blood? That was fantastic but they only made two seasons. 

I'm going to guess you have.

No, but i will certainly take a look, thanks

Not sure what to watch next.

@Stive Pesley has put me off moving on to season two of Bloodline. I enjoyed season one, but now Danny is dead, and he was the best character, and after Stive's brutal and slamming indictment, I think we should maybe remember it fondly and move on. No more than a 7/10 for me.

This Town looks interesting but isn't available until the weekend, so I may opt for Coma - any thoughts?

I just pulled up a lot of top dramas now available and came across this. I don't think I've heard of it, but it looks pretty good.

 

 

Better and Coma are both okay, not brilliant but both watchable.  I am thinking of starting The Cleaning Lady as I have just finished Love/Hate, unfortunately I think most things will be a disappointment after such a great series.

It has been a good loan for the lad and will have built his confidence no end.  Time to recall now though as needs must, whatever happens between now and the end of the season won't define his career and he could just help us over the line perhaps?

Less than 200 left for Carlisle by my reckoning.

More nervous for this than the Bolton game, real potential banana skin.

Really need 3 points to make that gap bigger! Please Derby 

Taking my lad to this one who has never seen us win away.  Oh Lord, what have i done 😩

I did! Over the moon about the prospect of attending my first away game since seeing the mighty Rams win 5 - 2 at Hillsborough. Fingers crossed for a similar result. I was just looking at our team that day...Stimac,  Wanchope,  Eranio, Poom...what a team that was.

Great news, i was going to offer to help, glad its sorted.  I was at Hillsborough that day too, first time i saw us win at that ground.

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm travelling over from Perth, Australia and I'm on the look out for two tickets to the Portsmouth game. I'm a former season ticket holder but obviously don't have any current memberships. I don't fancy my chances of waiting until tickets are on general sale. If anyone can help, please get in touch. 

Did you get sorted with these WA Ram?

On 05/03/2024 at 09:05, Old Spalding Ram said:

Only 300 tickets will be available for the event and, due to the expected high demand, most of the tickets will be allocated to 2023/24 Full and Half Season Ticket Holders, with a small number allocated to Non-Season Ticket Holders with a Fan ID.

Entry is FREE and tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 10am on Tuesday 5th March via: dcfc.co.uk/toptix/en-gb/categories/home.

Apologies if posted elsewhere 🤔

I managed to get two tickets for this forum and then realised I cannot make it due to a double booking.  If anyone would like to go i can email the receipt which gains you entrance.

Manager - 7 - Some good subs and 4 at a time was a surprise.  Point deducted for not spending more time sorting our throw ins out. League 1 has the 2nd most conceded in league football so we need to be better at them! 

Warne did mention this in his interview, i expect they will be working on it this week

You ought to have seen some of our lot at Bristol Rovers! Every club has them. 

What happened, I was in the seated area but across towards the away terracing, never saw anything untowards but it seemed something might be going off further along the stand.

Confirmed. Worth a try but that @mozza's a hard man to turn 😋

My apologies, all the bookies revert to next goalscorer, i assumed the same would apply.
